I copied your code into a code tags so it shows line numbers.

One of many problem that you have is that the answers given by the player are strings and when you compare stings in if statement let's say in line 157 it should be if(A1=="animal") animal in double quotes. But that will not work because you declared all the answers as int and you can not compare int to a string.

In line 8 you should change everything that is an answer to a string:
1
2
 
int age, subject;
string A,animal,answer1,A1;


Do that and then tell us about problems that you have, we'll take it from there

from case 2 - 10 you only output a question, you don't even give an option of entering an answer (in the original code you posted)

so you need to repeat what you did in case 1, (which is what you are showing now in your second post)

even better, make the help option into a function and call it in every case, much less tying and repeating of the same thing.
ebucna (118)
also with your if statements when there are only to options like the answer can be correct or not you don't need to give a condition the second time

as in 
1
2
3
4
5
 
if(A1=="heading")
cout<<"Correct!";

if(A1!="heading")
cout<<"Wrong answer";


should be 
1
2
3
4
 
if (A1 == "heading")
cout << "Correct!";
else
cout << "Wrong answer";

// i already done my mp. thank you so much, i'm now in the hardest part of my program, how would it return to the main menu(where all the subjects are) if the user answers correctly the problem and also it should display a menu without the subject the user answered already, the lifelines must also be disappeared after getting used.

thanks ! :D
ebucna (118)
The best thing to go back to main menu is a loop, since you didn't think about it I will presume you don't know what loops are, so try this link:

http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson3.html

ebucna (118)
Since you display the categories as a single output it would be hard to take out the one they already answered.

So you could keep record of number of questions they already answered and if they select it again it will not be accepted. That would mean a loop again, so if they already answered question 1 and then again they try to choose 1 the loop will take them back to the select your category option
ebucna (118)
What's a lifeline?
advancety (16)
thank you so much :D !! i already did what i understand in the looping system. Example, when user answer question 1 correctly, it will display again the list of subjects (this is what should this program really be) but when the user picks question 1 again, it should not be open, because it is already answered, and also, lifelines are the peek, copy, and save i put to help the user, but it should not be display again when it is already been use. How should i do that ?


thanks :D
btw, i cant post my latest work here, it says too long :(
ebucna (118)
I think I'd use boolean, say declare new bool bool lifelineUsed = false;

rap up the question about getting help in if statemt:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
 if (lifelineUsed == false){
cout<<"Do you need help?[y/n]: ";
cin>>help;}

if(help=='Y' || help=='y'){
lifelineUsed = true;
//plus all the other things you have in this if statement
}
ebucna (118)
you could also post portion of your code that you have a problem with, you don't have to post the whole thing every time. If you do that, can you please put code in code tags, you can find it on the right of where you are typing. It't the first one and it looks like this <>, it makes the code easier to read.
thx
advancety (16)
this is my part of the code, question 1 and question 2, lets say user use peek on the question 1 to get the right answer, then the main menu will show up again, so when user 1 picks question 1 again it should not be open, and also when user picks question 2 he cant use peek either

again, thanks for the help ! :D

so if user asks for help they get to peek, copy or save. Is each option available once? Therefore they can ask for help 3 times?

If so, then you could have 3 bools for peek used, copy used and save used, but then you would need to code each help option in a separate cout

as in if they select Y for help it would have to look something like:
1
2
3
4
5
 
if (peekUsed == false)
cout << "[P] for peek\n";
if (copyUsed == false)
cout << [C] for Copy\n";
//etc..

string A,animal,correct,heading,A1,answer1,name;
int age,subject;
char play,another,N,n,Y,y,ans,g,G,I,i,X,x,C1,help;
bool peekUsed=false;
bool copyUsed=false;
bool saveUsed=false;

cout<<"[S] for Save\n";


cout<<"Enter your choice: ";

that's right, you have to declare bool with other variables
you can also declare it in one line bool peekUsed = false, copyUsed = false, saveUsed = false;

its not a big deal, it will just save 2 lines of code

are you happy now with your program?

nothing changed

i can still use the three lifelines in every question
hahahah

in the part of your code where they selected yes to help, they get to input 'p', 'c', 's'

say they select 'p'

1
2
3
4
 
if(C1=='P'||C1=='p'){
cout<<"The answer is animal";
peekUsed = true; // don't forget to change peekUsed to true
}
